Old Bridge, Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina

Stari Most (Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian: Stari most, Serbian Cyrillic: Стари мост; lit. ’Old Bridge’), also known as Mostar Bridge (Turkish: Mostar Köprüsü), is a rebuilt 16th-century Ottoman bridge in the city of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina that crosses the river Neretva and connects the two parts of the city. The Old Bridge stood for 427 years, until it was destroyed on 9 November 1993 by Croatian Defence Council during the Croat–Bosniak War. Subsequently, a project was set in motion to reconstruct it; the rebuilt bridge opened on 23 July 2004.
The bridge is considered an exemplary piece of Balkan Islamic architecture and was commissioned by Suleiman the Magnificent in 1557. It was designed by Mimar Hayruddin, a student and apprentice of architect Mimar Sinan who built many of the Sultan’s key buildings in Istanbul and around the empire.Source: Wikipedia
Linking up with a bunch of fantastic peeps from the blogosphere who host Wordless Wednesday – Betty, Steve, image-in-ing, Zina, Keith, Cathy, Sara, CatSynth, Diana, and Suzana.
Such a beautiful picture and I am glad they rebuilt the bridge. It is tragic how many beautiful structures are ruined during wars.
Wars are awful indeed. It’s a beautiful bridge. 🙂
Great photo!
It is indeed. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
That’s a great photo and so clear I am on my way heheh!
Have a quainttastic week and WWS 👍
I’ll meet you there, Steve. 🙂
How sad that an amazing piece of history was destroyed because of war. Glad they rebuilt it.
Wars destroy so many treasures. 🙂
Just beautiful!
Not as beautiful as you, Miss Molly. 🙂
The reflection of the sun is spectacular.
It sure is. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
What a shame that the old bridge had to be destroyed in war after standing over 400 years. I love walking over bridges; happy this has been rebuilt. Alana ramblinwitham
Wars are awful and I’m glad it was rebuilt too. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
That’s beautiful!
It sure is, Sharon. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
War doesn’t do anyone any good.
With women in charge, we wouldn’t wage war; we’d negotiate and negotiate and negotiate until we’d figured it out!
It sure doesn’t. It just destroys so much. 🙂
That looks like a very interesting place.
It sure does. Scritches to all the furbabes. 🙂
I have a thing for bridges and this looks magnificent.
Happy Wednesday, Sandee!
I do too, Veronica. So many beautiful bridges around the world. 🙂
That’s an amazing place!
I agree with you, Brian. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂

That is so beautiful. So sad that the bridge was destroyed during the war, but I’m glad it was rebuilt to look just as it did before. Have a wonderful Wednesday, Sandee! 🙂
It’s a beautiful replica of the original. I’m glad they rebuilt it too. 🙂

It looks so peaceful there, to live a simple life in a quiet neighborhood. It’s just sad that the bridge was ruined, yet a blessing that it is being restored. Thanks for hosting, Sandee! Enjoy the rest of the week!
It does look so peaceful here. I would love to visit and walk across the bridge. Thanks for linking up. 🙂

It’s a beautiful place indeed. I would love to visit too.
Have a fabulous WW. Scritches to the pups and a smooch to Norman. 🙂
The name of the place is larger than the place itself.
It is indeed, Kismet. I love you. 🙂
Sandee,awesome phot kind of reminds me of the bridge of sighs in Venis Itialy.
I would love to see that bridge too. I love bridges. 🙂
Mostar is quite a pretty city, and that image gives it an almost fantasy-like quality.
A perfect description of this city. 🙂
I love that photo. I really like how laid back and relaxed it looked. I wish I could visit it.
I would love to visit here too. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. 🙂
Wonderful that they rebuilt. War is ugly in so many ways.
War is ugly in most ways. So destructive. 🙂
